How blessed am I? I have the most wonderful students to teach and it is really such a joy to see them put up their work in an exhibition! I had to post these beautiful words from my student, Sheila when she read my opening speech (I was under the weather and could not be there) she added her own words "I would like to respond on behalf of all my fellow artists that we value Miriam enormously.

Apart from being a brilliant artist, she imparts to us her students a generosity of spirit and encouragement that has enabled us to stretch our individual abilities to the full and we feel blessed to have her as our teacher."Thanks Sheila! It would not be an art class without you and the other wonderful participants....
